[BODSOR Use] Alert dialog, an indicator that notifies sign generation via alert sound and email
===============================
I was forced to do so, and I ported an external blog article from June 9, 2017.
===============================
BODSORPersonally, because I have a long history of using the main indicator, I didn’t want to tinker with it much, so I decided to implement the alert function with a separate indicator.
BODSORThe main indicator is installed in MT4,BODSORand is only usable on MT4 accounts where the main indicator is license-available,BODSORso I created an alert-enabled indicator for it.
Alert-SendMail-BODSOR.ex4
Attach the indicator to the chart you want to use. The settings are as follows.
Settings
FileName:
Enter the portion of the main indicator’s file name with the extension removed. For example, if the file name is BODSOR_12345678.ex4, enter BODSOR_12345678.
UseAlert:
If you want to use an alert dialog like the one shown below to signal generation, select true; if you do not want to use it, select false.
UseMail:
If you want to use email to signal generation, select true; if not, select false.
UseSound:
If you want to use an alert sound to signal generation, select true; if not, select false.
SoundFile:
Enter the filename of the sound to use for the alert.
As shown below, you must check "Allow DLL imports."
Addendum (July 30, 2018):
An example of MT4 settings when using the email notification feature
Note: After changing settings, you needed to restart MT4.
